If I was welcome, I might. My hesitation comes from personal experience. I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Honduras and I felt welcome by the people I worked and lived with. But every time I interacted with someone who didn't know me, I was treated as an outsider, no matter how good my Spanish was. That meant that I was a target and I was viewed through a lens of nationality and race. It was tiring not to be able to be seen initially for who I am. I couldn't trust strangers. So when I moved back to the United States I ended up in a majority white space. It might be a coincidence because I moved back to live with my brother who was going through a health crisis. But I might have ended up back in Minnesota or Wisconsin either way.
I would like to live in a world without prejudice and I am willing to undermine whiteness to do it. I will need to experience discomfort along the way. My experience of discomfort in Honduras was almost always eliminated through contact and friendship, and I know if I went to Africa to your country, I would quickly overcome any initial discomfort. It would be an exciting project and as an organic farmer and educator, I have skills to offer.
To be clear, I’m both aware of and susceptible to white savior bullshit. As a Peace Corps volunteer I had to move from naively thinking I was there to “help people” and “save” the world to something that looked like solidarity and co-conspiritorship. It changed my life and I have a second family in Honduras
